FELICITA FAMILY NEWS

Hello Families,

We are excited to welcome you to Open House this Thursday, 4/17 from 5:30-7:00. Visit your child's classroom and see the amazing work they have been up to.

Our students who have been reclassified will be honored in a special Reclassification Ceremony that same day from 5:00-5:30. Those students and their families will receive a special invitation from our Family Liaison.

I hope to see you all there!

They did an amazing job representing our school! We are so proud of you! 🎉💪

Save the date! 5th grade promotion will be on 6/4. 5th Graders will have a special hot breakfast in the MPR from 8:00-8:30. At 8:30 we will open the gates to families and begin the promotion ceremony at 8:45. Tickets not required. More details to come!

Reminder that if cell phones are brought to school, they should be turned off and placed in backpacks until after school. If your child has a SMART watch--the cell phone portion should also be turned off during school hours. If you need to get a hold of your child, this is done through the school office. We are not responsible for any lost or stolen phones. Thank you.

April 22nd-May 10th, Grades 3-5 will participate in annual state testing (CAASPP). CAASPP or California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress is the State of California’s system for monitoring student academic progress in ELA and math for students in 3rd through 12th grade. The primary purpose of CAASPP is to assist teachers, administrators, pupils, and parents by promoting high-quality teaching and learning through the use of a variety of assessment approaches and item types. 5th grade will also participate in the California Science Test known as the CAST.

During this time, it is important for students to eat a healthy breakfast, and be on time at school with a charged iPad.

You may have your child conduct practice testing to get acclimated to the platform.

Please see Superintendent Dr. Ibarra's letter in English or Spanish regarding CAASPP testing.
